Boy clothes – they are a bit harder than girl clothes. With girl clothes you have various lovely patterns for different kinds of tops and dresses, skirts, pants, gauchos, leggings, etc. With boy clothes you have pants and shirts. Not much variety there. One pattern company I love for their boy clothes is Ottobre. They […]

Okay people, who’s counting down to Christmas?? I know, Thanksgiving is next week, but Christmas-time is just such a fun time of the year! Last year it felt like it all went by at lightspeed. This year I want to be a bit more prepared. I have my December Daily book ready to go – […]
I have had this material for a good year, and have had quite the time trying to figure out what to make with it. I really like the design of it, and it is a nice soft babycord. It is the perfect little Fall dress and just right for school pictures tomorrow morning. I made […]

Our Halloween costumes
By Stacy on November 4, 2008Brian and I went as a pirate and a vampiress to our adults only Halloween party on Saturday. My costume was just pieces from costumes I had in the past, and the only thing I had made was the black cape. Brian’s costume required a bit more work. We had to leave for the party […]
I have been hard at work preparing some outfits for Anya once the weather gets chilly. Like now. It snowed on Sunday. Blech, blech, blech! Unfortunately the Prince has notice his lack of new clothes made by the sweat of my brow and has been asking where are his clothes. Look for boy clothes forthcoming […]
It goes without saying that most of Anya’s clothes cost less than $10 in supplies, or $15 at the most for an entire outfit. Time, well that is another thing. After being on the Spoonflower waiting list for several months, I was finally able to order my first fabrics in mid-September. It took 3 weeks to […]
After getting a bit of a shock as to how high our credit card has become, I decided to not buy a new dress for the wedding a few weekends ago. Since all of my other dresses didn’t fit me. Which sucks. I delved and dived into my fabric stash of sunken costs and decided to […]

For the baby boy
By Stacy on September 23, 2008Although I have several things I have made lately, I will have to settle for showing just this one thing today because the shots of everything else is lacking. I made this baby blanket for a friend who had her 2nd little boy in July. You don’t really need nice warm blankies in July, so […]
On Saturday one of our friend’s turned 29…again. 😉 I hadn’t made a necklace in a long time so I decided to pull out my beads and see what I had to work with. The necklace and earrings I made are bronze beads with silver findings. I couldn’t just leave it at that, so I […]
As per the usual, when I go to create something I keep on changing it up as I go. I started out planning on making a simple twirl skirt. Well, then I looked at the box of laces my Grandma Jo gave me, since she wasn’t using them, and decided to throw some of them […]
